Norway's Eyvind Brynildsen still holds the outright jump record with a 45 metre effort in a Ford Fiesta R5 in 2016.

In a tweet this afternoon, Østberg thanked rally organisers and dedicated his award to fans of 'Østberg Airlines'.

Another driver to take to social media after Colin's Crest was rally leader Thierry Neuville's navigator Nicholas Gilsoul.

The pair set fastest time through the afternoon repeat of Vargåsen, despite a corkscrew flight over the crest that almost put their Hyundai on its side. 'Quickest in #SS14... Off to change my undies now," Gilsoul Tweeted.
